Tech@NYU is NYC’s largest student-run organization of hackers, designers, and builders. We think students need to build stuff. Lots of stuff. Sitting around and talking about the stuff doesn’t count, winning contests with the stuff doesn’t count, only shipping the stuff counts.

Libraries

Cbuilder

Phys.JS

Abhi Agarwal

Philip Ottesen

Phys is a library created for individuals who want to use simple or advanced physics functions in their day-to-day work. This library includes functions for mechanics, thermal physics, oscillations and wave theory, electric current and electromagnetic induction, fields, forces and motions in fields, energy, power, and climate change, atomic and nuclear physics, quantum physics.

Extract Name Parts

Ethan Resnick

A PHP class to break a full name string into its component parts (i.e. first name, last name, and (optionally) middle initial). A lot of websites still ask users for their first and last name in separate form fields. In most cases, I think this is unnecessary and bad for UX. Better to have one “Full Name” field and split the name up behind the scenes. This class does that splitting. It’s built for English names.

JSON API

Numbers.js

David Byrd

Ethan Resnick

Steve Kaliski

Advanced Mathematics Library for Node.js and JavaScript. Numbers provides a comprehensive set of mathematical tools that currently are not offered in JavaScript, including basic calculations, calculus, matrix operations, prime numbers, statistics and more…

WhatupNYU

Audio Visualizer

Emmett Butler

This project provides realtime 3d visualization of WAV audio streams. The visualizations created are mainly abstract and can be considered an emulation of the iTunes (or, more accurately, WMP) visualizer. It uses OpenGL, freeglut, portaudio and libsndfile to create these visuals in real time. The project uses autoconf and can be compiled against the Mac Carbon framework or libGl on linux.

Bento

Diceware

Ethan Resnick

This app generates passwords made of random words instead of random characters and symbols. This makes the passwords both more secure (because we pull from about 7,000 words compared to the 90 possible symbols) and easier to remember—no more "hek2aCa87x.;s"-style passwords.

Telluric Season

Terri Burns

Telluric Season is an online publication tailored towards nature photography and environmental awareness. Photographers from publications like National Geographic and Time have been featured in issues.

Hackers of NY

Dani Grant

Documenting hackers all around the world. Hackers are superheroes to one another. This is so empowering, even outside the scope of tech. What could I do to give this optimism to others, to get people hacking? Covered by Techcrunch, Business Insider, and Inc. Magazine.

Candela

Emmett Butler

Candela is a simple shell-building system that uses python and curses to help developers create customized command line interfaces. It has a simple interface, is well documented, and allows developers to take command-based tools to the next level of complexity and usability.

Beyonce Trader

Tradebot

Student to Student

Steven Chan

A non-profit leveling the playing field for under-resourced, low-income middle school students who wish to gain entry into New York City’s elite specialized public high schools by providing academic resources they would otherwise not be able to afford.

Abhi Agarwal

Command-line Spotify client for Mac. It uses osascript to command, and run the commands.

Kipin Hall

Bowery

David Byrd

Steve Kaliski

Bowery is a limitless development environment. Does your application need to run on multiple machines? Does it need more computing resources than your laptop has? Are you tired of installing, configuring, and reconfiguring software? Perfect.

What is Tech@NYU?

Tech@NYU wants students to build stuff together. It takes a lot of scars, experience, and bad ideas to finally get to a great product, so Tech@NYU is like a big sandbox - a place for experimentation, play, and, well, shipping.

We do a lot of events too, including monthly DemoDays where we show off our work, weekly HackDays where we learn together, and semiannual Startup Weeks where we listen to some big-name speakers.

If you're a student in New York City that's interested in the intersection of startups, entrepreneurship, coding, art and design - we want you to join us.

If you're an NYC startup looking to give back to the student community, we also want to find ways you can help.
